OBJECTIVE

To comparatively analyze changes in intelligence and memory in patients with extracerebral tumors (adenoma and meningioma) of the brain after surgical treatment.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

Clinical examination was conducted in 76 patients with brain adenoma and meningioma. The patients’ diagnosis was based on clinical and laboratory data and radiation and instrumental findings. Intellectual and mnestic disorders were analyzed in the patients in the preoperative, early and late postoperative periods. The patients’ age was 22 to 65 years; the median age was 49 years. The investigators used intelligence tests, such as the Amthauer test (for individuals under 60 years of age) and Raven’s test, as well as memory tests, such as the 10 word memory test and the Wechsler memory scale.

RESULTS

Postoperative reversal of mnestic disorders was found in patients with pituitary adenoma (from 95.6% to 30.1%) and meningioma (from 96.8% to 64.5%). Despite that there was a more traumatic surgical access to remove meningiomas, no statistically significant difference in postoperative surgical changes was found between the two extracerebral tumor groups. Evaluating the intellectual changes revealed that at 3-6 months after surgical treatment, in the late postoperative period, average intelligence was less frequently recorded in patients with pituitary adenoma than in those with meningioma (p<0.05).

CONCLUSION

Comparing the two extracerebral tumor groups has revealed that surgery results in reversal of intellectual and mnestic disorders.
